End of year catch up.

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good Christmas . Thanks for the good wishes , we had a lovely time. It was different but good. We went to MIL's and I cooked dinner there at tea time instead of lunch time , but we had a relaxing day and the meal turned out great, which made my day as it was weird being in someone elses' kitchen ,lol .

I have so many things to catch up on , hope I remember them all , so in no particular order :

The scarves , I ended up making four as Christmas gifts , all done in time and well received .

I didn't remember to take a pic of the other one before wrapping , but you get the idea. It was soft mossy greens in colour way , and a little shorter .

I sent a couple of gifts to friends ,
For Lainey

For Barb.

This is what Lainey sent me , gotta love the birdies .Lainey kitted up the bird chart for me , so this will be started soon hopefully .

From another stitching friend , Dawn . The kids have already chosen which birds they want , so I'll be doing a robin and thrush first .

And this is what I received from my lovely friend Bernadett . A gorgeous shawlette that she made herself , isn't it beautiful.

Picture , calendar (Bernadetts' own design) and lovely brooch

And she made my kids a couple of lovely hats ,

Owl brooches ,

and also two gorgeous ornaments with their initials on, which I don't have a picture of .
A big Thank you to my special friends , as these were the only gifts I had to unwrap . Me and hubby didn't buy for each other with money being very tight , and I got cash from family , so having these gifts was a lovely thing for me.
I will be spending a little of the cash on the HAED sale , wish they would stop tempting me ,lol .

I also sent a RAK to Peggy Lee , but can't find a pic right now , and sent a little gift with Barbs' prize from my magnetic bookmark/needle holder giveaway.

Thanks for dropping by , I will be back soon with a year re-cap and hopefully some goals for next year and anything else that I've probably forgotten ,lol.
Take care ,
Cath
